About The Original Guitar - MX 250 Papa Het

To the new design of the MX-220 was given the name MX-250 (and later just the MX-II, when the price was raised from 250,000 yen). The MX-250 is a little bit lengthier compared with MX-220, far more pointed at the tip. During early nineteen nineties. And in this ames Hetfield guitar, the pickups switch is a bit farther away from the volume control and pickups.

James once gave one of his white MX250 Explorers to freelance artist Dirty Donny, and the magnificent piece of artwork on MX250 Papa Het is the result.The MX250 Papa Het features a burning Tire with wings and the words "Since 1963", indicating hetfield's birth year James later added the spider webs and probably designed the headstock logo himself. The guitar has been used LIVE and in the tuning room since 2003-2004

How Intersting！！！

James Hetfield has been a major endorser of Guitars since the 1980s, and is best known for playing custom-made Explorer-style guitars with an EMG 81/EMG 60 set for pickups. Hetfield's main guitar from the early days was a Flying V copy made in Japan by Electra.

But when the headstock broke on his white Flying V, James turned to his backup guitar: a white Explorer. Although he later got the Flying V repaired and dabbled with other Vs, it was the Explorer that would become his main guitar for nearly the next 15 years. James began using several versions of the 1984 Explorer. These were unlike the 1976 version, with rounded edges and no pickguard. Also making a difference was the control layout which was not in-line like other Explorers. The following are explorers James Hetfield once used, pls check!!!

This guitar is the newest model, the James Hetfield Snakebyte. Finished in a clean looking snow white or black, the guitar is built of a mahogany body and neck, ebony fretboard, set-neck construction, a thin U neck contour, and 22 Xj frets. The Snakebyte is loaded with EMG 81 and 60 humbuckers, which pump out a tone that is clear and tight, excellent for riffs and palm muting. To top it all off, the guitar has a real cool looking snake inlay on the 12th fret.

The James Hetfield Truckster Guitar is the fifth Hetfield Signature Series guitar to carry his name since James joined forces in 1991. This latest guitar is manufactured to the exact specifications of James' Truckster, a modified Eclipse-style stage guitar used on the St. Anger tour.
